Kaiser Convention Center - Oakland, California ( CA ) : Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP, Inc. ) : With Venue-Specific Kaiser Tour Dates ! : Medium ( M ) : Very-Rare !!! The-Incredible !!! Grateful Dead 1985 Chinese New Year " Year Of The Ox ! " Shirt made for & sold at the 2/18/1985 - 2/20/1985 Chinese New Year ! Shows run at the Henry J. Kaiser !! - in Oakland, California !!!!! Deadheads !!! Offered here the Vintage Original ( Genuine / Authentic ) Grateful Dead 1985 Chinese New Year " Year of the Ox ! " Shirt made for the February 18th through 20th run of shows at the Henry J. Kaiser in Oakland, California ( aka. ' Home ' of the Deadheads ! ), with the actual Chinese New Year G.D. Celebration itself falling on the Tuesday 2/19 show -- and in the 2nd Set ... Women Are Smarter with Gung Hay Fat Choy Iko Iko !, and a " Dragon Dance " during Drums -- with the Chinese Symphony Orchestra even opening before the Grateful Dead ! Interestingly enough ... this was actually the very-first run of Dead Shows at the Kaiser, where it was re-named the " Henry J. Kaiser ", as prior - as most all of you know, this was the Oakland Auditorium Arena ... the place where Dead Fans called home in the Bay Area, before the consistent Oakland Coliseum & Shoreline Amphitheatre days. And as for this Classic of a Tee ? Well, for starters - Bobby Weir used to stage-wear this shirt-design, I think I recall it was the " grey " Shirt version that he was Rockin' -- at the B.C.T., I believe ? And elsewhere ... very possibly. Point being, if one of the Boys in the Band are wearin' it - then it has to be one of the " Grate ! " ones, right ? Naturally ... Hey, if either Ace - B.K. - Mick - Brent, or Phil are wearing a Dead Tee on Stage - Count Me In !! No offense to Garcia, but he's a Black T-Shirt guy, right ? Ha ! But during this brief Era ... it could also be ' Trouble Ahead ! - Jerry's in Red !! " - ( who saw the bright multi-color pants Garcia worn in Vegas ?!? '92 or '93 maybe ? Way Rad !!! ) ... OK, sorry - got off track there - Ha ! So in my personal opinion ? This '85 " Ox " design is really one of the best ever in a lot of different ways ( design-wise, The Ox !, etc.. ), but mainly ... because it was the First !!! It was the ' predecessor ' to the " Year of the Tiger ( '86 ) " Shirt, the " Year of the Hare ( '87 ) ", and also the " Year of the Dragon ( '88 ) " ... in other words, it was the Very 1st ! of this specific " type " of design-style manufactured & sold by GDM. Pretty darn-cool piece of info there, right ! But hey - above all else ... there's just nothing quite like a G.D. Chinese New Year Show - any Year ! ... during those usually cold and/or rainy West Coast early-months of the year. Heck ... I'm still riding high from the last " Dragon Parade " I ever saw ... at the " Year Of The Dog ! " And I'm not kidding at all - some say that was the " Last " Amazing ! run for the Grateful Dead ... and though I'd hate to look at things that way - it's hard to not concur if you caught that run, or heard the music - especially on the " Chinese New Year " night. So go ahead and check out all of the photos provided, as this one just shouts-out " Awesome " -- the 1985 Year Of The Ox !!! close to 40-Years-Ago ! ..... Watch-out though, because you know what they say about the " Bull & The Horns " - probably applies here with this Ox, because the '85 Grateful Dead were Smokin'-Hot !!! ... and you messed with Them then, you might as well just get the Horns !!!
